TRUE PARISIENNE.
The AudaciOus Career of Rose ?Om
POM Her Astounding Memoirs.

From Paris Letter in London Telegraph n,.s
The recent publication of the memajEsI9f
Cora Pearl and the dismal end of that Opee
famous courtesan have directed a good dead
of public attention to the faded or fading
demi mondaines of the empire. [ had oc-
casion yesterday to refer to the jewels and
other property of Nine. Needham, which
were lately sold by auction in the Hotel
Drouot, and to remark that, unlike the
povert y-stricken and disfgured Emma
Crutch, Nine. Needham had Melted
snug income out of her gains,
which enabled her to end her days in
quiet opulence. The same may be said of
the interesting female who calls herself
Mile. Rose Pompon. The elderly beauty
has published her memoirs. but not like
Cora Pearl, through Indulgence, for she
lives in villa. is still surrounded by every
luxury, and communicates in her parish
church with the punctuality of an Ursuline
nun. But Rose Pompon has been smitten
with the desire to see herself in print, and
has accordingly dictated her souvenirs to a
person who has put them into readable
shape. Rose began her career as dancer

by that epileptic contortiOnist. Grille

when, as she naively adds. was almost
chaste. Her movements were supple and
undulating. She swan around the stage
like gauze, lightly lifting the hem of her
petticoat between her finger and thnmb,
and not playing the guitar with her toes in
the air like ''La GOulue." Like Othello,
she had many hair breadth escapes in her
time. She became mistress to a kings son,
and was expelled. She captivated a Rus
sian marshal by dancing before him, and
this while France was at war with the Mus
covite. Rose was near the Crimea at the
time, and wanted favor for friend from
the marshal, who was reported to be as
tough as leather. A few pirouttes and a
jud cious display of her legs brought the
marshal to her feet, and the rest is easily
told. Rose had a great admiration for
Rachel, the celebrated tragedienne,
whom she used to meet some
times at Mimi Teron's suppers. and this is
how she, or rather the compiler Of her
memoirs, describes the great actress: Il
see her now. very pale. her cheeks rather
hollow, divinely dressed and looking like
queen. l recollect that l used to admire
her dainty little feet shod in black satin
slippers. They were so mignOns that one
of her last admirers had used one of them
as pattern for little silver slipper which
might have been modelled for Cinderella
herself" The admirers of those days, as
Rose remarks EN- passant were very gener-

ercise are going out of favor among ball
players for several reasons and very few OF
them now attempt to keep in condition
through the winter. When you hear of
player going into gymnasium that usually
means he goes in there, tries
some feat and lanes himself, and
then drops in two or three times week to
look on. 1t is not good thing fora player
TO fool with the apparatus. He does not
want to develop big punches of muscle.
What lie needs is agility, suppleness, quick
ness of eye, hand and foot. If he goes into
a gymnasium he exercises muscles that he
does not use in the field, and he either de-
veops them at the expense of his useful
muscles. or he puts too much strain upon
them, thinking himself as strong in one
part as another, and breaks cord or other
wise Injuries himself. A great many play
erS have been permanently injured in that
way. Twichell, of the DetroitS, hurt his
shoulder and could not pitch as well after

sinew in my shoulder. and

and | can feel the pain now when l raise
my arm in certain way. If man would
take light exercise only and work sensibly
the gymnasium would be all right but
there are too many temptations in the APP
paratus to trials of strength. A man wants
TO put up heavier dumb bell than another,
or excel him on the rings. and the chances
are that he will hurt himself OF get muscle
bound. Because players are apt to be
foolish about the use of apparatus. man
ayers now discourage gymnasium work as
rule.
"A player should not attempt to keep in
oil ha A
months in the field he needs rest Playing
ball is work of the hardest kind. and at
the end of the season a player is all tagged
out. a month before the season closes he
begins to look forward longingly to the end
and wish it would come, and when it
does come he feels like taking
a months solid sleep. He ought
to rest for month at least, walking just
enough TO keep his digestion and circulation
good, and after he has become well rested
he should begin to exercise with very light
Indian clubs. Instead of training down
he should try to take on flesh. particularly
if he is thin, nervous man. If he is
naturally inclined to be stout he should aim
to keep himself from getting too fat, but at
the same time
AVOID HARD TRAINING.
"a base ball player cannot stand con-
tinual training and he should not try, even
in the season, to keep in what is called con-
diticn. The oarsman, the runner or the
fighter, who wants to perform a certain
feat at a given time, can train down fine
without injury, but the base ball player
who tries that eXhauSts his vitality and
goes into consumption or is carried off by a
fever.

Wanama ker Prayed for Credit.

tramped round all day, waiting not eyeHsfer

of credit could they command. They went
to their hotel at night feeling as dismal as
an owl in sunshine. They had only one
room between them for economy's sake.
But Wanamakers partner felt so blue that
he grew reckless and hustled back to the
bar-room to save at least one drink Of
whisky from failure. Of course it would
haye been useless to ask Wanamaker to
accompany him. Wanamaker wouldn't
save a glass OF liquor if he saw barrels of it
going to disaster. So the worldly partner

himself he should submit to the direction
of somebody who understands the bust
ness. Players are beginning to see this,
but they need to see it more clearly yet.
They have been through the gymnasium
experience and learned that performing
feats of strength and turning on the rings
is not good for them, and many of them
have given up winter training on that ac-
count; but they have yet to learn that
there is proper system of exercising and
training that is indispensable. Those who
do appreciate the importance of the matter
are glad to see the growing interest and
discussion, but the success of clubs that

all the talking toward bringing about a

training and the adoption of perfect

Besides the clubs there are several eXer-
ciseS that are good. Let him hang up
twenty-five pound sand bag so it can be raised
to the height OF the shoulder or lowered to
the level of the knee, set it swinging and
strike it with bat. That brings into play
the muscles that he uses in batting ball
and keeps them from getting soft, and it is
good practice. If he has access to a track
he should jog around it every day or two to

Kind Of apparatus should be left severely
alone. A baseball player never needs to
go up rope hand over hand or to suspend
his weight from his extended arms, and
anything that tends to over-develop the
muscles of the shoulders and chest will in
terfere with the free action of the arms and
prove hurtful. The pulley weights are ex.
cellent for working any set of muscles. For
batting practice man can stand with his
side to the wall, grasp the handle with both
hands over the shoulder, and bring the
arms forward just as he would in swinging
q bat. This exercise works the muscles of
the side also. and in all respects is good
substitute for the bag and bat. The back,
Ons neck, legs and abdomen can all be en-
.rcised with the pulley weights. AS in
everything else. the weights should be small
so that no heavy strain may be put upon
any muscle or cord. Elasticity, not hard =
ness nor bigness of muscle. is what man
should try to develop. This regular exer

months and then another month of COM

George Brown, who lives up east of the

story over at Nick O'Bren's grocery the
other morning. He thereupon proceeded
to diSgorge this lucid tale: Once, when he
lived in Ohio. he observed his valuable bird
dog acting strangely. Securing the dog by a
stout chain to young tree, he waited to
see what would come of it. In less than
two hours the dog was raving mad. He
flew at the young tree and bit it furiously
in a dozen places. The dog soon died. In
about three weeks the tree went mad. Its
limbs waved and thrashed about, all the
bark fell off. and the tree died in horrible
agones.
